this is the build i'm looking at for a version of your build using the gear i already have; if you could give me some input on it I'd appreciate it!



You have a ton of stat nodes, less life than I'd like, and really not very many damage nodes either. You seem to be loading up on the damage nodes I'm not really a fan of - as I use frost wall to cover for the fact that totems are kinda squishy if you let them tank.

For instance, your build has 110% increased life and ~126% increased damage for incin totem. My build (using 16 more points) has 163% increased life and ~259% increased damage for incin totem. You just path through too many stat nodes. And as much as I want marauder start, it's just too awkward for me to do it. My 2c.

I also am of the opinion that Incinerate Totem can do just fine without EB - I may be proven wrong once I start playing with less % reduced cost, but that's how I'm feeling for now, and the nerf in mana cost to Incin, GMP, Added Chaos, etc. is further confirms this notion for me. EB is fine I guess - I just didn't seem to need it before and now I can't imagine that changing.

I took a look at my tree again, and decided on different pathing. The amount of points spent on stats is the same; but I like this layout better. Also added the last fire nodes above witch.

I agree with you on the EB part, currently using a 5 link, and even without reduced mana costs, the totems are no issue, whatsoever. I do expect the cost of the totems to rise a bit with 2 x Apeps Rage, 80% mana cost increase is still a fair amount. Besides that, I like using AA, and with the forced use of Soul Mantle, I don't think the gear planned for the setup, can be utilised better than in an EB build.

I went and grabbed eb to take advantage of the gear i already have for the scion; Cloak of defiance/AA combo will be employed.

That in mind, how would you recommend I edit my tree?

What do you think about it? (for beyond)
The idea is that I'll get ALL my armour from the shield so I can just use tabula rasa and a good spell dmg+cast speed sceptre.
Anyone playing with totems these days? I have 89 lvl templar with 109 pasives to spent and would like to make some reasonably cheap mf char with totems. IS there a version of similiar build that use 1 hand weapons, have 1 doriany as well.

I might update for 1.3 in a couple weeks. We'll see, I'm playing other builds too atm.
